Come join our screenings of Migration and Borders screening series on March 22-23, 2019 at Rice Cinema!

ALL SHOWINGS ARE FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

For many months now, public discussions about migration and borders have not left the headlines of major media outlets. We recognize the significance and urgency of hosting public conversations on the contemporary migration crisis that pay careful attention to the experiences of all participants of the process of migration. We hope to create a space for discussion of the pressures and experiences of those who are pushed to cross borders and those from the receiving side. This conversation will be of interest to researchers, activists, and community members interested in the politics of humanitarianism, violence, nationalism, dehumanization, citizenship, and transnational flows.
